Regency map of London extending from Chelsea to Limehouse and from Oval to Islington. Proposed improvements are marked with dashed lines, including Regent's Canal and Waterloo Bridge Road. Regent's Park has been laid out, but only four houses around the inner circle are marked - the park was not opened to the public until 1835.



This map was engraved by F.P. Latham for The original picture of London enlarged and improved by J. Britton, published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown of Paternoster Row. The same map was used in later editions of 1820, 1822, and 1832, though with minor updates on each of the maps, such as the completion of Regent's Canal and the addition of St. Katharine's Docks.
